Japanese Patent No. 4086712 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-4852

  In the conventional disposable diaper, in order to clarify the degree of discoloration of the indicator, the indicator is configured to contact with a double-ply board that has been bonded.

  However, in the disposable diaper described above, since the absorbent core is covered with the mount, the component of the indicator penetrates into the mount and reacts with the moisture absorbed by the SAP (Superabsorbent Polymer). There is a problem that the indicator may change color before using such disposable diapers.

  Specifically, in the disposable diaper described above, since there is almost no space between the absorbent core and the indicator, depending on the mounting weight unevenness of the mount and the fixing level of the indicator, the indicator component can easily penetrate, and the absorbent core There is a problem that the indicator discolors before use of the disposable diaper due to moisture retained by the SAP.

  Furthermore, when the absorbent core is made thinner, the bulky pulp basis weight is reduced, and the SAP ratio is increased, thereby increasing the risk of SAP being exposed to the non-skin contact surface side of the absorbent core. In addition, there is a problem that the moisture held by the SAP easily promotes discoloration of the indicator.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the disposable diaper 10 according to this embodiment includes a front waistline region 20, a crotch region 25, and a back waistline region 30.

  Here, the front waistline region 20 is a portion in contact with the wearer's front waistline portion (abdomen portion), and the rear waistline region 30 is a portion in contact with the wearer's back waistline portion (back portion). Is a portion located between the front waistline region 20 and the back waistline region 30 and in contact with the wearer's crotch (excretion port).

  In the present embodiment, a direction from the front waistline region 20 to the rear waistline region 30 is referred to as a product longitudinal direction L, and a direction orthogonal to the product longitudinal direction L is referred to as a product width direction W.

  Here, the crotch portion 200 is formed in the crotch region 25, and the region on the abdomen side of the wearer than the crotch portion 200 is defined as the front waistline region 20, and the back side of the wearer from the crotch portion 200. Is defined as a rear front waistline region 30.

  In addition, the length (natural state) in the product longitudinal direction L of the rear waistline region 30 is configured to be longer than the length (natural state) in the product longitudinal direction L of the front waistline region 20.

  Moreover, a pair of leg periphery opening part 35 is formed in the disposable diaper 10 which concerns on this embodiment. The leg opening 35 is provided at a side end portion of the disposable diaper 10 in the product width direction W, and is disposed along the wearer's leg in a state where the disposable diaper 10 is worn by the wearer. It is.

  The disposable diaper 10 according to the present embodiment includes an absorbent body 40 that straddles the crotch region 25 and extends from the crotch region 25 toward at least one of the front waistline region 20 and the rear waistline region 30.

  As shown in FIG.3 and FIG.4, the absorber 40 is comprised by the absorptive core 40a and the coating sheet (core wrap) 40b.

  The absorbent core 40a is the same as that used in conventional disposable diapers, and the absorbent core 40a can be appropriately configured using known members and materials such as pulverized pulp and SAP.

  Here, the SAP content in the absorbent core 40a may be configured to be 35% or more and 95% or less with respect to the total weight of the absorbent core 40a. More preferably, the SAP content in the absorbent core 40a is preferably 45% or more.

  By increasing the ratio of the SAP content to the total weight of the absorbent core 40a, the liquid absorption amount and the liquid retention amount of the absorbent core 40a can be increased.

  Moreover, SAP may be comprised so that more may exist in the non-skin contact surface side S1 than the skin contact surface side S2 in the absorptive core 40a.

  According to this structure, the speed | rate which takes in excrement in the absorptive core 40a can be made quick.

  Moreover, according to these structures, while having the effect of improving the absorption function of the disposable diaper 10, it can also suppress discoloration of an indicator.

  For example, the content of pulverized pulp in the absorbent core 40a is 100 to 300 gsm (for example, 220 gsm), and the content of SAP in the absorbent core 40a is 100 to 300 gsm (for example, 150 gsm).

The covering sheet 40b is a sheet that covers the absorbent core 40a. For example, as a member constituting the covering sheet 40b, an air-through fiber nonwoven fabric having a mass of about 10 to 30 g / m ² , a spunbond nonwoven fabric, an SMS (spunbond-meltblown-spunbond) nonwoven fabric, a mass of about 10 to 30 g / An m ² tissue sheet can be used.

  Specifically, the non-skin contact surface side S1 and the skin contact surface side S2 of the absorbent core 40a are covered with a cover sheet 40b.

  For example, the covering sheet 40b may be configured to wrap the entire absorbent core 40a.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the covering sheet 40b is configured to overlap on the non-skin contact surface side S1 of the absorbent core 40a (see the part A in FIG. 3).

  Here, the overlapping part A of the covering sheet 40b is configured to extend along the product longitudinal direction L.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, in the overlapping portion A of the covering sheet 40b, the end portion 41E of the inner sheet 41 and the outer sheet 42 are joined by the adhesive 1 such as hot melt adhesive (HMA), and the outer side The end portion 4E of the sheet 42 and the inner sheet 41 are configured to be joined.

  Here, the inner sheet 41 is a covering sheet that is disposed on the absorbent core 40a side in the overlapping portion A of the covering sheet 40b and is joined to the absorbent core 40a, and the outer sheet 41 is the covering sheet 40b. In the overlapping part A, it is a covering sheet disposed on the opposite side of the absorbent core 40a.

  Moreover, the non-joining area | region B where the inner sheet | seat 41 and the outer sheet | seat 42 are not joined between the area | regions where the adhesive 1 is apply | coated is comprised so that it may extend in the product longitudinal direction L. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the skin contact surface side S <b> 2 of the absorber 40 is provided with a liquid-permeable top sheet 50, and the non-skin contact surface side S <b> 1 of the absorber 40 is A liquid-impermeable back sheet 60a is provided.

  In addition, the back sheet 60a is comprised with the film and the nonwoven fabric sheet. Here, the design which can be visually recognized from the non-skin contact surface side S1 of the disposable diaper 10 is provided on this film.

  Moreover, the indicator 600 comprised with the color change agent visually changed when it contacts with a water | moisture content is provided between the back seat | sheet 60a and the absorber 40. FIG.

  The indicator 600 may be provided in the center region in the product width direction W and in the non-joining region B.

  Furthermore, the direction in which the indicator 600 extends may be configured to coincide with the direction in which the water absorption of the clem in the covering sheet 40b is high.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the direction in which the indicator 600 extends corresponds to the product longitudinal direction L.

  In addition, about the Klem water absorption of the coating sheet 40b, it can measure according to JIS-P8141.

  Specifically, first, in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the sample 1 cut into a strip shape having a predetermined dimension (width 20 mm, length 200 mm) and the indicator 600 extends along the direction in which the indicator 600 extends. A sample 2 cut out along the extending direction is prepared.

  Second, the vertical direction of the samples 1 and 2 is the vertical direction, and the bottom of the samples 1 and 2 is immersed in distilled water up to a portion of 15 mm, and 10 minutes ± 10 seconds after the immersion, the samples 1 and 2 are immersed. The distance (mm) at which distilled water was sucked up from the lower end of the tube was measured.

  Third, the measured value is “Klem water absorption height”, and the Klem water absorption heights of Samples 1 and 2 are compared. Which of Samples 1 and 2 matches the direction in which the Klem water absorption of the covering sheet 40b is high. It is determined whether or not it is a configuration.

  According to such a configuration, the extending direction of the indicator 600 is matched with the direction in which the water absorption of the clem in the covering sheet 40b is high, so that even when the plurality of covering sheets 40b are stacked, the indicator 600 is aligned. Since the moisture of excrement can be diffused, it is possible to prevent the indicator 600 from being insufficiently discolored.

  If the length of the indicator 600 in the product width direction W is too wide, the entire area in the product width direction W of the indicator 600 cannot be discolored when discolored due to excrement, causing unevenness. It is preferable that the replacement timing is not too wide because it may misunderstand the replacement timing.

  From this viewpoint, the length of the indicator 600 in the product width direction W is preferably 1 mm or more and 10 mm or less, and more preferably 1 mm or more and 5 mm or less.

  In addition, at least a part of the skin contact surface side S2 of the covering sheet 40b has liquid permeability.

  Here, according to the viewpoint of unevenness in basis weight, the basis weight of the covering sheet 40b is preferably 7 gsm or more. According to the viewpoint of liquid permeability, in order to change the indicator 600 even if the amount of excretion is small, The basis weight of the sheet 40b is preferably 20 gsm or less, and more preferably 10 to 15 gsm.

In the non-bonding region B, by loosening the outer sheet 42, a plurality of wrinkles are formed on the outer side sheet 4 2.

  Accordingly, the length of the inner sheet 41 in the non-bonded region B in the product width direction W in the stretched state without wrinkles is configured to be different from the length of the outer sheet 42 in the non-bonded region B in the product width direction W. ing.

  According to this configuration, since a space is generated between the indicator 600 and the absorbent core 40a, the indicator 600 and the absorbent core 40a are difficult to contact.

  Further, the outer sheet 42 may be joined to the inner sheet 41 in an area where the indicator 600 is not provided. According to such a configuration, it is possible to suppress deformation of the absorbent core 40a when the disposable diaper 10 is worn, and it is possible to prevent the SAP from coming out of the covering sheet 40b by the covering sheet 40b.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG.1, FIG3 and FIG.4, in the disposable diaper 10 which concerns on this embodiment, the center O of the product width direction W is set in the crotch part 200, more specifically in the crotch region 25. An extendable / contractible expansion member 200a (crotch expansion / contraction part) may be provided in the absorber arrangement region where the absorber 40 is arranged to straddle.

  Here, the stretchable member 200a may be stretchable in the product longitudinal direction L, may be stretchable in the product width direction W, or stretchable in both the product longitudinal direction L and the product width direction W. It may be.

  The center O2 of the elastic member 200a in the product longitudinal direction L is disposed closer to the front waistline region 20 than the center O1 of the disposable diaper 10 in the product longitudinal direction L. Moreover, the elastic member 200a is arrange | positioned so that the center O1 of the disposable diaper 10 in the product longitudinal direction L may be straddled.

  More specifically, the expandable member 200a is provided so as to overlap the region where the indicator 600 is provided. The elastic member 200a is disposed between the back sheet 60a and the covering sheet 40b covering the non-skin contact surface side S1 of the absorbent core 40a.

Such a stretchable member 200a is configured so as to remain flat without generating irregularities (creases) even in a contracted state in a natural state.

Therefore, due to the contraction of the stretchable member 200a, a plurality of convex shapes are formed between the inner sheet 41 and the outer sheet 42 made of a non- stretchable sheet in the non -joining region B. A space is created between the seat 42.

  Further, the indicator 600 is provided in the area where the indicator 600 is provided because the S1 side expansion / contraction member 200a and the S2 side outer sheet 42 which are in contact with the indicator 600 are joined to each other by the indicator 600. The outer sheet 42 mainly contracts in the region where the rigidity is higher than the adjacent region where no indicator 600 is provided.

  As a result, the absorbent core 40a and the indicator 600 are more difficult to contact.

Similarly, since the stretchable member 200a remains flat even in a contracted state in the natural state, the non-stretchable backsheet 60a has a shape that protrudes toward the non-skin contact surface side S1, and is non-skinned. even under pressure from the contact surface side S1 can mitigate the impact, it is possible to hold the space between the indicator 600 and the absorbent core 40 a.

  In consideration of the pressure in the package, in addition to joining the indicator 600 and the outer sheet 42, the stretchable member 200 a and the indicator 600 are joined in a stacked manner, so that the stretchable member 200 a of the stretched member 200 a is also in a natural state (package enclosed state). It is preferable that the inner sheet 41 and the outer sheet 42 be wrinkled by contraction so that the space between the inner sheet 41 and the outer sheet 42 can be maintained.

In this state, in order to hold the space between the indicator 600 and the absorbent core 40 a, the back sheet 60a and the outer sheet 60 and the elastic member 200a is preferably a high rigidity.

  Here, in consideration of flexibility and tactile sensation at the time of wearing, the basis weight of the film constituting the back sheet 60a is 10 to 30 gsm, and the basis weight of the nonwoven fabric sheet constituting the back sheet 60a is 10 to 40 gsm. The basis weight of the member 200a is preferably 20 to 50 gsm.

Also, the higher the height of incidence and the uneven shape of the uneven shape, it becomes easy to hold the space between the indicator 600 and the absorbent core 40 a, the ratio of expansion and contraction of the elastic member 200a is preferably higher.

  However, considering the tactile sensation, the expansion / contraction rate of the expansion / contraction member 200a is preferably 1.1 to 1.8 times.

  The expansion / contraction rate means the degree of expansion / contraction of the expansion / contraction member 200a in the expansion / contraction direction (product longitudinal direction L in the present embodiment), and is defined as follows.

Expansion / contraction rate = (length in the expansion / contraction direction of the expansion / contraction member 200a in the maximum expansion state) / (length in the expansion / contraction direction of the expansion / contraction member 200a in the natural state)
In addition, in this specification, this expansion / contraction rate shall be measured as follows, for example.

  1stly, when the disposable diaper 10 is enclosed with the package etc., the disposable diaper 10 is taken out from a package, and it is 60 in the atmosphere of 20 degreeC +/- 2 degreeC and relative humidity 60% +/- 5% RH in the state. Leave for a minute and measure the length of the stretchable member 200a along the stretch direction. This length is defined as “the length of the elastic member 200a in the natural state”.

  In addition, this measurement was performed using a spring measure manufactured by Shinwa Measurement Co., Ltd. (tape portion: polyvinyl chloride coated with glass fiber) so as to be along the measurement target site (10 samples).

  Second, the length in the stretch direction of the desired region in such a state (ie, the natural state), and the length in the stretch direction of the desired region when stretched from the natural state to a state where wrinkles by the elastic member cannot be visually confirmed. Measure the thickness. This length is defined as “the length of the elastic member 200a in the extended state”.

  Using these measurement results, the elongation percentage is measured by calculating with the above formula.

  Furthermore, in the region where the indicator 600 is provided, the elastic member 200a is preferably joined to the outer sheet 42 and the back sheet 60a.

  According to such a configuration, in the region where the indicator 600 is provided, the non-skin contact surface side sheet S1 (the elastic member 200a, the back sheet 60a, the exterior sheet 60, and the like) is closer than the indicator 600. It becomes easy to visually recognize the discoloration of the indicator 600 from the non-skin contact surface side S1.

  As shown in FIG.3 and FIG.4, the exterior sheet 60 comprised with the nonwoven fabric sheet may be provided in the non-skin contact surface side S1 of the back sheet 60a. The exterior sheet 60 is embossed in a direction intersecting with the expansion / contraction direction.

  In addition, the back sheet 60a and the exterior sheet 60 may be joined to each other by a dot pattern or a line pattern.

  Side flaps 70 are respectively provided at both side edges in the product width direction W of the absorber 40. The side flap 70 is comprised by the nonwoven fabric which piled up the 1 sheet or 2 or more sheets.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.2, the fastening tape 90 is provided in the pair of side flaps 70, respectively.

  The fastening tape 90 extends in the product width direction W in the rear waistline region 30, and is attached to the target unit 95 disposed on the non-skin contact surface of the front waistline region 20, so that the disposable diaper 10 is worn by the wearer. Configured to hold on to the body.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a pair of leg stretchable portions formed between the side flaps 70 and the exterior sheet 60 along the leg opening 35 and stretchable in at least the product longitudinal direction L. (Leg Gather) 75 is provided.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a pair of leg side gathers 80 extending along the product longitudinal direction L may be provided inside the pair of leg stretchable parts 75 (near the center O in the product width direction W). Good.

  The leg side gathers 80 are provided at the inner end of the side flap 70 in the product width direction W, and are erecting and expanding gathers that are disposed on the inner side in the product width direction W than the leg stretchable parts 75.

  The side flap 70 is folded back to the top sheet 50 side at the inner end in the product width direction W, and is laminated in two layers.

  As shown in FIG. 3, an elastic member 71 is provided between the side flaps 70 in a stacked state in a state where the elastic member 71 is extended in the product longitudinal direction L. A leg side gather 80 is formed by the side flap 70 and the elastic member 71.

  The leg side gather 80 has a joining portion 81 joined to the top sheet 50 or the back sheet 60a, and a free end portion 82 on which the elastic member 71 is disposed.

  Of the free end portion 82, the central portion in the product longitudinal direction L including the crotch region 25 is contracted in the product longitudinal direction L by the elastic member 71.

  When the disposable diaper 10 is worn, the leg side gather 80 rises with the joint portion 81 as the base end portion, and the contraction portion 84 of the free end portion 82 contacts the wearer's skin with the apex portion. That is, the joint portion becomes the base end portion of the rising side of the leg side stretchable portion.

  Further, in FIG. 1, in the leg side gather 80, a joining portion 81 where the side flap 70 and the top sheet 50 (or the back sheet 60 a or the like) are joined is indicated by hatching.

  In the disposable diaper 10 which concerns on this embodiment, the waist elastic part 100 comprised by the elastic sheet may be provided.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the absorber 40 may have the low rigidity area | region 210 in which the fabric weight is lower than the other part of the absorber 40 in the back waist area 30, or the absorptive core 40a does not exist. .

  Since the low-rigidity region 210 and the waist stretchable portion 100 that contracts in the product width direction W overlap, the absorbent cores 40a outside the product-width direction W of the low-rigidity region 210 are brought closer to the center of the product width direction W, and are cup-shaped. It becomes a shape that is easier to follow along the wearer's buttocks.

  Furthermore, the absorber 40 has the expansion / contraction suppression area | region 220 which is an area | region where the expansion-contraction in the product width direction W was suppressed rather than the other area | region.

  Here, the expansion / contraction suppression region 220 is formed outside the low-rigidity region 210 in the product width direction W, as shown in FIG.

  Further, the boundary between the expansion / contraction suppression region 220 and the low rigidity region 210 is formed by an arc that protrudes toward the center in the product width direction W. According to this configuration, the wear assistant can be given an image of the shape of the buttocks of the wearer.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a notch 110 and a notch 120 are formed in the crotch region 25 of the absorber 40. The notch part 110 and the notch part 120 are areas where the absorbent core 40 a constituting the absorber 40 does not exist.

  Instead of forming the notch portion 110 and the notch portion 120, the basis weight of the absorbent core 40a may be made lower than the portion of the other absorbent core 40a.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the notch part 110 and the notch part 120 are formed along the edge part in the product longitudinal direction L of the expansion-contraction member 200a.

  The cutout portion 110 and the cutout portion 120 are configured such that the length (natural state) in the product longitudinal direction L becomes longer as going outward in the product width direction W.

  The edge of the notch 110 on the front waistline region 20 side in the product longitudinal direction L constitutes a first inflection portion 115, and the edge of the notch 120 on the product longitudinal direction L on the back front waistline region 30 side is 2 inflection part 125 is constituted.

  In addition, the 1st inflection part 115 and the 2nd inflection part 125 are extended along the product width direction W, and are comprised so that it may become a bending origin of the disposable diaper 10. FIG.

  Next, an example of the manufacturing method of the disposable diaper 10 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated. In addition, about the manufacturing method which is not demonstrated in this embodiment, the existing method can be used. Moreover, the manufacturing method demonstrated below is an example and can also manufacture the disposable diaper 10 which concerns on this embodiment with another manufacturing method. The manufacturing method of this disposable diaper 10 includes at least a component forming process, a component placing process, a leg periphery forming process, and a cutting process.

  In the component forming process, a component (for example, the absorber 40) constituting the disposable diaper 10 is formed.

  In the component placement step, disposable diapers such as the elastic sheet constituting the leg stretchable part 75, the other web such as the web constituting the top sheet 50, the absorbent body 40, etc. on the web constituting the back sheet 60a The component which comprises 10 is mounted.

Here, changing in the step of covering the absorbent core 40a by covering sheet 40b, a material conveying speed of the portion corresponding to the outer sheet 42 (feed rate) and material conveying speed (feed rate) of the portion corresponding to the inner sheet 41 Alternatively, it is possible to provide a slack by covering the absorbent core 40a while loosening one of the inner sheet 41 and the outer sheet 42 by changing the resistance of the conveyance lines at both portions.

  In the leg formation step, the top sheet 50, the exterior sheet 60, the back sheet 60a, and a part of the elastic sheet constituting the leg elastic part 75 are cut along the outer end of the leg elastic part 75 in the MD direction. . Thereby, the leg periphery opening part 35 arrange | positioned around a wearer's leg is formed.

  In the cutting step, the continuous body on which the top sheet 50, the back sheet 60a, the absorber 40, and the like are arranged is cut into the size of one product along the MD direction. Thereby, the disposable diaper 10 is manufactured.

  According to the disposable diaper 10 according to the present embodiment, a space is created between the inner sheet 41 and the outer sheet 42, the absorbent core 40a and the indicator 600 are difficult to contact, and the indicator 600 is discharged before the wearer excretes. Can be avoided.

  Further, according to the disposable diaper 10 according to the present embodiment, when the wearer excretes, the inner sheet 41 and the outer sheet 42 are wetted by excretion liquid, and the surface tension of the liquid interposed between the inner sheet 41 and the outer sheet 42 is increased. Accordingly, the inner sheet 41 and the outer sheet 42 are in close contact with each other, and the adhesive 1 does not exist between them, so that the indicator 600 can be quickly discolored.
